The Case of the Procrastinating Story Teller

[roxy]

Can a gun really fire silver bullets? What does a disemboweled body smell like? It's been an interesting evening. Looking up stuff for a story I'm playing with has taken me from Wu-Tang to the Home&Garden channel. Is it any wonder that writing takes me aaaaaaall day long? I mean, if the action in your story takes place in a bathroom, do you look up what is the most popular flooring material at the moment? Is this research or noodling? That little scene in EOTS I wrote about Clark in the bathroom took forever. But I learned a lot about bathrooms back in the day, and I found out that full baths with tubs and showers and stuff were being built into homes a lot earlier than I thought. Fascinating no? Of course! Guess what I'm doing this very moment? Blathering so I don't have to write! Yes! I do that! All the time!

I *love* story-telling!

I do! When we were kids, we always told each other stories, or the other two would make me draw the story and tell it to them. Heh--my sister was in her twenties trying to make me read stories to her...lol! We're kind of special, me and mine.
